Itinerary description

Pont de la Peche parking (1767m) - Col Rouge (2731m) - Roc des Eaux Noires (2994m) and return.

A hike on established trails up to Col Rouge then a relatively short (~1km) alpine scramble to the summit of Roc des Eaux Noires. Very scenic and fun route.

Note: easy rating is based on experience and ease in alpine terrain. While there are rock cairns on the way up to the summit, they are not always visible and comfort route finding and moving in alpine terrain is needed.
